There is great intensity of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot go behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of a prompt and permanent cure the fol-
lowing cases are cited In 1884 Mrs. Mary
X. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from ITO Maryland
Avenue, Washington, D. G. In the first in
stance she states 81 suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders suffered
intensely. Tried st, Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning all
pain gone, magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 224 Eleventh Street, S. w., Is
follows "Four years ago l sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
l had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. | obtained a
bottle of ST. Jacobs Oil, and after three APP
plications | was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present |
have never had a return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr.. r.
G. Troll, St. Louis, Mo, writes: I'm March,
1881, suffered terribly with neuralgia had
suffered nearly three years. Applied St.
Jacobs Oil at S.15 A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone. The one application cured me- Have
not had return of it since" Mr.. e. W..
Spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes ::
Years ago had neuralgia; am not subject to
it now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful affliction." Chas.
w. Law, Jr. Pottstown, Pa, April 49, 1887,
writes: "Was troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil; had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same.
